Hey all,
Hope all is going well! Due to the number of times we had previously moved the competition launch date back, we have decided to push the competition timeline back to allow you more time to compete in Round 1. Importantly,
- We’ve pushed the Round 1 end date to October 25th.
- The Round 2 end date is now November 25th.
- In addition, we will award a travel grant to representitives of all finalist teams in Round 2, to allow for travel to be updated for NeurIPS!
Really excited to see your submissions!
P.S. Expect some new updates to MineRL coming soon!
